To borrow a line from a good friend....WoooooHooooo! Looks like we are gonna have one heck of a wing ding in August at the Valley Ho and Trader Vic's! I am sooo happy to see that so many folks are interested! This is great news. I am still working out the room rate details with the hotel (they have been VERY slow in responding, but I know they are working up a super deal!) and will have all of the details posted early next week. I have also been corresponding with AJ (the GM of Traver Vic's) and he is really eager to have us there...but since this is a bit of a different concept than the rest of the TV chain, and it's not open yet, and seating is kinda limited, we have some logistics to work out for the August bash. But here is what I know for sure......

Dinner and drinks will be at Trader Vic's on Saturday Evening.

Special room rates will be available beginning on Thursday evening and will run thru Sunday night, so you can really make a weekend of it!

Open Road Tours (my company) is pleased to extend all TC members a 10% discount off any of the tours they offer! So make it an Arizona Get-a-way and see Sedona, the Grand Canyon and Raft the Colorado! More info can be found at http://www.openroadtours.com or you can email me or call me during the week at the office 800.766.7117!

I'll be staying with friends who live in Phoenix June 2-5...and I know they like the Drift. I'll try to nail down a time with them. If I can get them to commit to a time (they'll be doing the driving) I'll post it here. Haven't made reservations at TV yet...411 had no phone listing as of last weekend. I guess I could call the hotel..

I FINALLY was able to get in touch with Trader Vic's and was told they're already totally booked for the 4th! I'M SO PISSED!! We'll at least be able to go in for a drink or two or three or 4 (probably early) ...but I was really counting on a meal. They put me on a waiting list in case there's a cancellation and I'll call again on the 4th to double check. I suppose I should call TV in Dallas NOW to get in a reservation for their August opening.

I think we're still gonna go Sun. night early (like 6-ish) to scope the place out & get a cocktail--will end up at Drift no doubt

Hey Tina!... It was good to meet you at Sam's. Let me know if there's anything that I can help out with. Also!.... If there's not enough room at Trader Vics's for the Martini Kings to play, maybe they can play at the Valley Ho at some point while everyone is there. I'm sure the hotel would love to have them play again. I'll talk to Tony and see if they're available that weekend.

Aloha Gene! Great meeting you, too...( and the Mrs. and the cute little one). The Martini Kings would be GREAT! Check with Tony and see what his and Frank's schedule is like...I'll work with AJ @ TV and the Hotel to see what we can work out! I am thinking that we may have a few more options once TV's had actually opened and they see how the space is working. Thanks for jumpin' in with both feet! Looking forward to seeing y'all there!
